Leona Bab Tag League will begin this Thursday, 4/12/12 @ Lenora. You can signup at the Gymnasium at Lenora. We will meet in the normal grassy area by the parking lot. Please try to be there 5:45PM so we can get playing as quickly as possible.

I heard Gwinnett County has online signup, but I have been unable to locate it on their website. If someone has the URL, please post it.

Next week 5-17 will be a Mystery Grab Bag round. I mispoke by calling it a 1 Disc Challenge hope this post will clarify what we are doing.

Mystery Grab Bag Rules: Everyone will use their own putter. Everyone will bring 1 disc and put it in the grab bag. When your card is called each player will draw a disc out of the bag and play the round with that disc and your putter only. (you can't use your own mystery disc and will have to redraw another if you pick yours out) Your Handicap still applies. Mystery disc must be any disc designed for disc golf (no whammo doggie discs) but not necessarily a PDGA approved disc. Disc can be new, used or abused. A driver, mid or putter. (You can be nice and put a new proline Katana in or be naughty and put a beat Gateway Sabre in)

This will really test your skills as a golfer to see if you can adapt to the disc you've chosen.

1 concern is the Juniors. Do we want them to choose seperately from the advanced. It might be unfair to them having to play with our plastic. If you have any questions/comments please ask now and spread the news to league players who may not read this forum. CHOP

If you normally putt with it, its a putter. Joey uses a Classic Roc for his putter so that would be acceptable. I don't think anyone in our group putts with a Vulcan or a Katana so I would hope that all would use their everyday putter for this one round.

Mystery disc was fun, but I felt a bit like a Barney at times! Once a season you got to do something different to change it up. Other ideas I came up with for this are:1 Disc Challenge- play the whole course with 1 disc of your choice.

Ride the Zephyr- play with just Zephyrs.

Wild Card- each card in the deck represents the type of shot you must tee with, alls twos are backhands, jacks= rollers etc... Set the course before anyone tees so that all players will have to execute the same shot on the same hole.

Odd Dog- Every player is an Odd Dog and gets 1 extra throw per hole if they want or need it.

Do It Again- Each player is given one chance to force each opposing player to remake a shot. Player challenged must remake the shot or they will have to play the second attempt. If the challenged player makes the shot, the challenger adds a stroke to his score. You can retrieve the disc to attempt the retry shot. Would be good to pair up with a Noonan round to add to the distractions!

Works- Side action bets for Clots, Dots, Fibs, and Mystery Skins. All players compete against the whole field. A Mystery Skins round could be fun just on its own too!

I suggest Week 6 of each season be set aside for one of these or some other unconventional night of golf.
